The KS price was £80 for a non recoil unit and £130 for a recoil unit.

They also said they would sell them post Kickstarter for the same price with plans on reducing the price.

Has anyone here received their Sinden guns yet? It would be nice to hear some actual independent user experiences and comparisons with Aimtrak guns. It's easy to make bold claims about something you are trying to sell but, in my experience, what users say on forums like this is usually right.
I parked my Aimtrak gun a while ago because I couldn't get the arcade-like experience I wanted with it. You have to stand too far back and I find it intensely annoying when the crosshairs or shots never line up with the gun sights. So I went back to real light guns on a CRT.
I have a renewed interest in getting my Aimtrak working right lately as I saw these "Extreme" IR sensor bars on ebay:

Apparently, they solve the biggest issues with the Aimtrak. I.e. They let you stand closer, it improves accuracy and stops you losing calibration from a slight movement in your position. If I could make my Aimtrak accurate, that would be my preference over adding a white border. I'll believe it when I see it though.

The Ultimarc site does have a large sensor bar to pair with the AimTrak already, was that the one you were using already? With the same poor results? Reply to Andy ‘s response in this or the other Sinden thread, he reported here that he never hears about those type of issues, contrary to what you see reported from users on forums and Facebook groups.
I was re-looking at one of the Sinden videos and it says no calibration required!
There were independent tests done on the Sinden by a member of this forum and all the great stuff about it was confirmed.
I’ll take white bars with no calibration, no crosshairs, no sensor bar and accuracy, worthy trade off.
I’m hoping this drives Ultimarc to solve the current issues, but I’m guessing Andy can’t using the technology he is using and I hope I can sell my AimTrak’s once Sinden hits the market but I’m guessing they will lose a lot of their value since a better product will be out.
Personally I will wait for the 2nd or 3rd run Sinden’s, as I’m suspecting there will be a tweak here and there that they will resolve on the physical hardware.

Okay, thanks, Mr. Sinden Social Media Marketing Man.
